The EventBeacon Rostering Tool allows teams and athletes to roster for an event. Once an athlete rosters for an event, they will show up in the event admin system and on EventBeacon. 

This article will detail how an acceptable roster must be formatted, and what the accepted values are for each column on your spreadsheet.
